In which the Independent Spirit Awards continues their tradition of scheduling themselves the day before a more significant awards show — although at least this time it’s not the Oscars. (I am sure they “don’t care,” because they are “cool,” and the entire “ethos” of the “independent spirit” is that they “don’t give a shit” about “the awards season machine, man” but I suspect many of the actual nominees and presenters wish they had a little breathing room.) I was low-key surprised to see so many people in black but maybe this marks a return to the true 90s vibe of smoking a lot of cloves outside the bar and not giving a shit for real? Time will tell.
